Officer Identified in Corey Ruiz Shooting | Milwaukee News

Madison police officer Kiel Baitinger-Peterson, with nearly 11 years on the force, has been officially named as the officer who fatally shot Corey Ruiz during a July 22 attempted arrest. Footage from bystanders sparked immediate protests and an encampment at the scene, which took a tense city-led operation to clear on August 4. Ruiz, remembered for his love of music and personal struggles, was restrained by two other officers when the fatal shot was fired — though only one stun gun attempt is clearly visible in video. All four officers are on administrative leave as the state’s Division of Criminal Investigation leads the probe, while Ruiz’s family has hired civil rights attorney Ben Crump to pursue justice.
